Healthy Cities for a Fossil Free Future
On the morning of Thursday September 26 2024, we are hosting an event in partnership with the World Health Organisation, C40 Cities, and the Global Climate & Health Alliance. It will convene leading health experts, Mayors, and local government representatives on the questions of sustainable cities, health, and fossil fuels to bridge these three critical topics.
Globally, cities account for around 75% of energy consumption and 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Air pollution is responsible for 1 in 9 deaths worldwide. Health stakeholders and city leaders are acutely aware of this, however it is important that they join forces to discuss the root cause of the climate crisis, Fossil Fuels. Join this important conversation that will explore how to unlock urban health, resilience, and equity through local action and advocacy for a global just transition.
This event is invitation only for in-person participation, and will be livestreamed. You can submit your interest in participating in person, and/or receive information about the livestream using the form below. Floor & room sent upon registration. Coffee and breakfast will be provided.
